File can be downloaded from here also. https://pantheon.corp.google.com/m/cloudstorage/b/chromiumos-test-logs/o/bugfiles/cr/603650/upc-tobymanley.theora.ogg

Same behavior observed on ubuntu desktop also.
Just easily enable something good in one of your browser flags, it's the only workaround for now.

I think this is by design. The original file has extension .ogg which imply a audio file even though it is video indeed. Chrome sniff the video content so it could play video. CrOS media player probably treat it as audio only file based on file extension. After changed downnloaded file to .ogv, CrOS media player can play it as video as well.
Need developer to confirm. 

Yeah this is a CrOS media player bug.

This is a known issue with the Files app, we detect the file type of a file from the extension only. Merging into root cause bug.
